Friday, October 27

Sorry for the delay of this post, so anyways basically on Friday we worked on GIS. I am in block 1 and we did GIS for the whole class, but from what I’ve heard, the other 2 classes started watching Cry Freedom for the remainder of class. Since we worked on GIS the previous day, many of us were close to being done with the activity. The GIS for this week basically involved comparing Africa with Europe. Europe, as we know, is a highly developed region, but Africa isn’t. The information on the map showed how most regions in Africa have very high birth and death rates, and still have a high natural increase. Europe on the other hand has a relatively low rate of natural increase. Infant mortality rate is another factor that was described in the map. Africa, being the less developed country, had a high IMR. Europe, being the more developed country, had a lower IMR. Basically the living standards for Europe are much higher than in Africa. Once all of these themes were present on the map, we were to make 2 layouts for Africa and Europe. That was all first block did, and apparently 2nd and 3rd block started Cry Freedom.
